Jay Johnson update on Garrett Edwards: "Through a preliminary evaluation with our trainer -- it was about as positive as it could be. We're hopeful that it's not serious and that we will have him back soon...I'm not a doctor, never gonna pretend to be a doctor. We'll get them further evaluated when we get home." #LSU

That’s great to hear. Hopefully is confirmed with further evaluation.

Great news. When he grabbed that elbow I feared the worst.

Love Jay but I have no confidence that we see Edwards again this year. When do you ever see a pitcher leave that way and they don’t have some sort of major surgery

Certainly hoping for the best, but that did NOT look good.

He will still probably miss 4-6 weeks. They don't rush these types of things back. They can dry needle it a few times and do some PT and he could throw in 2 weeks probably at best then a few weeks before a bullpen. That's probably best case scenario for a minor injury. Unless he wakes up and it feels totally normal today and he throws and it feels normal.

I’d be sick to my stomach if I were Edwards. That elbow grab most likely cost him several hundred grand.

I saw the guys throwing a football around in Columbia. Someone threw it to Shores and he gingerly tossed it back with his left hand. That told me he is done. Take it for what it’s worth.

I also mentioned that Coleman was throwing like he was warming up for a game. Full bullpen with offspeed stuff. Looked great and comfortable. I seent it.

Don’t think it’s a UCL. More than likely a Pronator muscle strain. If that’s the case some therapy and he’ll be back.

(For disclosure, I’m a Sports Medicine physician, and our office diagnoses and treats athletes with these types of injuries. I’m not here to be a “know it all”, but as a LSU fan and occasional consumer of this forum, I try to contribute where and when I can).

Of course I remain hopeful, but it doesn’t sound good. I didn’t see the game, but from what people were saying, it seemed as if he reeled his arm in quickly to his midsection. This is very typical of an UCL injury, vs strain to a wrist pronator. Or for that matter, any muscle involved in forearm pronation. A small UCL tear can and many times will, not be detected upon physical examination (by either a trainer or physician). It will take more detailed examination and imaging (MRI) to get more details.

Again, I promise I’m not trying to be a “Debby downer.” I pull hard for these young men, and want the best for their careers, bit collegiate and afterwards for those who get that shot.

It’s just that, from what I’m hearing, it doesn’t sound good at all.

Pray for the young man, and let’s hope for the best.
